And I think that you also don’t understand that I have the choice of Free will to choose to be Catholic and listen to the Vatican scholars about Bible scriptures.

Personally, I have no problem with the way that anyone sees the Bible as long as they have a good relationship with Our Lord himself. Most times, it is easy to figure out right from wrong in Our Lord’s eyes.

I do have a problem with someone insisting that I am wrong. I’m not saying that you do, but my problem comes in the absolute that I am, as a Catholic is walking the road to hell.

I believe that I do not know the will of Our Lord and neither does anyone else.

Certainly I understand that. That is not a road that I can take, however.

Well the relationship with Christ is the key thing. And I agree that it should be easy to determine right from wrong is most circumstances.

I do have a problem with someone insisting that I am wrong. I’m not saying that you do, but my problem comes in the absolute that I am, as a Catholic is walking the road to hell.

I never have understood why this would be a problem with anyone. So someone thinks you are going to Hell? So what? Can you justify your beliefs' can you defend them in debate? Are you confident in them? Then what does someone else's opinion matter? Why?

We can't all be right. All opinions are NOT equal. I try to make mine right, and I can't do that by accepting the authority of another. Now matter how high, powerful, or scholarly and well-informed. I determine my opinions for myself. If I did not, I couldn't defend them properly. If you can, more power to you. And you might be right, even if you can't, but I prefer my way. I have serious theological issues with the RCC, but I don't deny they are a Christian church.

I believe that I do not know the will of Our Lord and neither does anyone else. Well, in some ways we can. God has given us the Bible as a guide. In others, you are correct.
